The leather-clad heavy rockers of Black Veil Brides are back with their fifth full-length album Vale released on January 12, 2018. With Vale being one the first few rock records of 2018, I was curious to see what this addition added to the already expansive discography of BVB, and what it would bring to the rock genre in the new year.

The imagination began to whirl…

LOYALS have shared their thoughts on the upcoming record, stating: “This album was made in a time when there was a lot to be thankful for and a lot to be hurt about.
